Bodyminder

Before using the Bodyminder, I pretty much just jotted down my workout on a piece of paper and hoped that it did not get lost.

Barista Prima Italian Roast K-Cup (24 Count)

We were able to receive a Keurig machine for review a few months back, and we received a sample box of the Barista K-Cups for review soon after that.
